it is neither.
Otherwise, you'd see productivity being better in places that allow drug testing of normal employees and worse off in places that do not. But that's not the case: Retail employees in Norway aren't really less productive than those in the US.
Plus, if it really were a productivity measure, why would you not drug test more professionals and salaried employees? Does their productivity not matter? Wouldn't more small businesses find drug testing worth the money?
- sshine 3y agoDoing drugs may affect your productivity at work. Depending on the drug, and the circumstances. I'm sorry to say.
- lumost 3y agoI don’t believe that this has any bearing on why individuals are drug tested at work. Particularly when tests with longer durations are used. What business does an employer have with employee drug use outside of work?
- Broken_Hippo 3y agoThat doesn't mean that drug tests make for better productivity. I didn't say that drugs never have that effect. And like you say, May. The same drug might have different effects for different folks, too.

- Broken_Hippo 3y agoDo you think employer drug tests decrease overdoses?
